For a recent pincushion swap I crafted a little puppy dog and a basket of toys filled with toy headed pins...and yes there is a poo pin. Since I made up the pattern I of course had a few hiccups along the way. He came out too tall, legs were too long and so I took him part in bits and pieces and started over, the second time around he came out perfect. My partner was delighted.

The pins were made with polymer clay, baked and painted. I just formed the shapes over the heads of ordinary pins. The basket was crocheted from jute twine and made up as I crocheted.

so glad i follow what you post on here via friends list as i would never have wanted to miss this!!!! great job! how you doing lately? didi has been keeping me super busy, havent gotten to craft in a couple days now. msg me anytime, hugs!
